McInturff Carolina

The Carolina comes in 3 flavors: The Carolina, The Carolina Standard and the DAG Custom Carolina.

The Carolina $6430
Based loosely upon the Taurus chassis, the all- new Carolina carries a fabulous feature set intended to appeal to true devotees of a late 1950’s classic design. Some of the features include: Carved figured Eastern maple top, mahogany body, dual “boutique” PAF style pickups, set mahogany neck, 24.625” scale, custom pots and tone caps, dual volume/dual tone controls, ultra-thin and hard vintage style nitro finish (researched especially for this model), full ivoroid binding overall, and much more. This model represents some of Terry's newest and finest work to date.

The DAG Custom Carolina $6230
We at DAG are honored to have our name on the headstock of this masterpiece. This Custom Carolina, weighing in at 8lbs 5oz, is made from all premium woods chosen by Terry and Cliff for their resonant qualities. We have placed a small tuned tone chamber in this guitar to create a super smooth and even response across the entire tone spectrum, giving this guitar a big orchestral like chording quality while maintaining a Les Paul-like focus and attack for lead and solo playing. Terry is a true masterbuilder and this guitar is proof positive.

The Carolina Standard $4995
the "Custom Carolina Standard" a slightly scaled down version of the Custom Carolina at a much more affordable price. Same basic guitar with Spanish Cedar back and no binding. Feels and plays just like it's bigger brother producing a big, beautiful sound that rivals that of finest LP style guitars to be found.

There is a host of options available for each model, some of which are included in the base price. Please refer to the OPTIONS PAGE for specifics.
